2 SCHOOL UNIFORM POLICY FOR STUDENTS The school policy requires that all students wear school uniform when attending classes or when participating in a school organized event outside of normal school hours. I. The Purpose Al Adhwa Private School believes a safe and disciplined learning environment is the first requirement of a high performing school. The implementation of school uniforms will promote respect for oneself and others build school/community spirit, and more significantly, help to maintain high academic standards. The Board of Trustees strongly recommends that wearing of uniforms by students will help lessen the impact of socioeconomic differences. In addition, it allows for identification of visitors on campus and encourages students to concentrate on learning rather than on what they are wearing. Furthermore, our policy for school uniform is based on the notion that school uniform presents a professional image to our community and distinguishes our students while they participate in community activities and : 1. It is practical and smart; 2. It makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance; 3. It is regarded as suitable wear for school and is considered by parents/care givers as good value for money; and 4. It is designed with health and safety in mind. ALL students are required to wear the school uniform daily unless otherwise directed or approved. II. Information Dissemination On a yearly basis, school administration will communicate information to parents/ guardians concerning the uniform policy through the following: school website, Al Adhwa Face Book Account & Whats App. III. Appearance & HYGIENE In addition to being required to wear the prescribed school uniforms, all students are to be groomed and dressed appropriately for school and school activities. A student s dress and/or appearance shall: 1. Be decent. 2. Constitute no threat to health or safety. 3. Reflect practices of good hygiene and cleanliness IV. UNIFORM PLAN Students will follow the mandatory school uniform design that will be in effect until otherwise revised. If a student wears inappropriate clothing, parents will be notified. If the problem continues, it will be considered a rule violation and appropriate consequences will result.
